Those who are interested in learning more about the process of adoption and how they can go about becoming an adoptive parent are invited to an event that is being held by Bromley Council. As part of National Adoption Week from 19th to 25th October, the Council’s Adoption Service will be hosting an information session.

The event will take place on Monday 19th October from 12:00pm to 2:00pm at Bromley Central Library. It is an informal drop-in session that will provide an opportunity for people who are considering adoption to ask questions. People will be on hand to dispel myths and provide visitors with support if they want to start the adoption process. The Mylife portal, which has a range of information and advice on adoption, will be available for people to search.

There are many children in the local area who are currently waiting for suitable adoptive families, particularly older children and groups of siblings. From April 2013 to April 2015, Bromley Council placed 39 children for adoption. At the moment, 4,550 children nationally are seeking adoptive families.

If you are unable to attend the session but would like more information on adoption, you can email adoption@bromley.gov.uk.

We would like to hear from people who have first-hand experience with the adoption process. What are your feelings on the system? How straightforward was it?
